Directed by Ben O'Brien and Dan Deacon
Produced by Dan Deacon and Ben O'Brien (http://www.showbeast.net http://www.benobrien.net)

The video co-directed by Ben O'Brien and Dan Deacon is based on a drawing game popular in the Baltimore art collective Wham City, which is in turn based on the game "telephone."

For the video, Dan and Ben filmed a simple 13-second scene. That scene was then shown to the next team. After seeing the video that team had 1 hour to recreate it -- characters, props, set, costumes, and actions -- as close to exactly as possible from only their memory.

The cast is made up of members of Wham City, Dan Deacon Ensemble, Ed Schrader's Music Beat, Future Islands, Red Room Collective, Copycat Theater, Effervescent Dance Collective, Showbeast, Annex Theater, Nuclear Power Pants, FlucT, BXDC, Bloody Panda, Foot Talk, Important Comics, the Baltimore Museum of Art, and various icons of the legendary Baltimore Arts Community.

An artistic statement saying that when humans don't know what to do, they lose their shit and dance like crazy.

[Alexhimself]

and anyone that goes to my page and quickly scans through my recent activity shouldn't be saying shit about shit to anyone. Btw it's the original video from Haarlem, Netherlands. In-case you thought it had something to do with Harlem New York.. just saying.

[InterpolFL]

Just heard this song on a University of Phoenix commercial... hope you got paid for that Dan! In any event, good to hear some legit music in a commercial.
